Things Cassidy ought to be telling people about---

Here is a new report about Bill Cassidy's poll numbers---it may very well be the most compelling "commercial" I have seen for the man.

How about a commercial with this message "I support school choice for everybody because I have seen the benefit of taking tax dollars out of the hands of bureaucrats and putting them into the hands of parents."

Bill Cassidy was in friendly territory Monday, appearing at the charter school his wife co-founded.

"You all are the best ambassadors for Louisiana Key Academy," Cassidy told cheering students prior to a news conference blasting a Louisiana Education Association lawsuit aimed at charter school funding.

All 181 students at LKA, in grades 1-3, have dyslexia, and parents credit the school with working miracles for children who otherwise had trouble learning how to read.

"How, as a parent, do you look at your 7-year-old child and reassure him that he's not stupid?" asked Stacy Antie, whose son attends the school. "His brain just thinks a little differently than other kids."

The suit, filed in state district court in East Baton Rouge Parish, argues the Louisiana Constitution bars privately-run schools from receiving money through the Minimum Foundation Program, the main funding source for public schools.

"We have to be firmly on the side of the parent as she or he intervenes for their child," Cassidy said.

He also faulted Washington, where he insisted special interests have derailed efforts to reform schools.
